Can I really make money selling Lightroom presets?

Yes. Top photo creators sell €5K-€50K/year in presets. Niches that work: portrait/wedding, travel/cinematic, food, fashion, dark moody. Pricing: single preset €3-9, 10-preset pack €19-39, 30+ pack €49-89.

What file formats can I upload?

XMP (Lightroom Desktop), DNG (Lightroom Mobile), .cube (LUTs for video), .atn (Photoshop actions), .brushset (Procreate). AOVANCY accepts any file extension — buyers download the original file on purchase.

How do I deliver mobile DNG presets to buyers?

Upload the .dng files as a zip. Buyers download, AirDrop to their phone, open in Lightroom Mobile, save as preset. AOVANCY auto-generates a buyer dashboard with re-download access.

What's a typical preset pack price?
